Shortstop

1st selected: Hanley Ramirez, 2nd round (14th overall)

6th selected: Elvis Andrus, 5th round (56)

12th selected: J.J. Hardy, 12th round (144)

Analysis: There seems to be a pretty clear top six at shortstop, starting with Hanley Ramirez and ending with either Ian Desmond (54) or Elvis Andrus. After Andrus went 56th overall in this draft, another SS wasn't selected until Zobrist went 86th; Everth Cabrera (103) followed him.

Obviously, this is another top-heavy position, and it was actually surprising that Jean Segura (36) and Jose Reyes (45) didn't go higher. It's tough to wait past the sixth round for a shortstop unless you're looking for a specialist (Cabrera in steals, J.J. Hardy in homers). And when it comes to specialists, there are always "cheaper" versions available, like Jonathan Villar (220) for SBs or Jhonny Peralta (202) for homers. In other words, if you pass on one of the top six, you can probably wait awhile and fill in other positions before grabbing your starting shortstop.
